Hope jumped out to an early 1-0 lead after an impressive goal from Madelyne Maclaughlin. Arkadelphia would tie the game up shortly after 1-1, but later in the first half, Madelyne got loose and scored another goal, giving Hope a 2-1 lead. The Lady Badgers would answer before the end of the half, tying the game at 2-2. 

In the second half, the Lady Badgers made the most of their opportunities and the Lady Cats were limited in their looks to score, as Arkadelphia tacked on some goals late to win 5-2. 

Hope is back in action on Friday night in Mena in another key conference matchup.
